S/S Playboys 13
The Playboys 13 (PBS13) are a long-running Sureño street gang based out of Idlewood South Park, a residential neighborhood located in the south-central region of Los Santos. The set has roots going back several decades, with multiple generations having claimed the gang.
Though known for its deep traditions, PBS13 has gone through various changes throughout the years. Newer cliques and younger members continue to represent under the same name, but often with their own hint of flavor and identity. These cliques may differentiate through different graffiti styles, area codes, or block numbers - yet they all claim the same hood and fly the same flag.
PBS13 is known for wearing red and blue bandanas (depending on the clique) as a visible sign of their affiliation. Many members also have a variety of different gang-related tattoos.
While many of the original members came up through the old school-to-street wave, the younger generation is most of the times pulled in through local tagging crews, parties, or just by hanging around the area.
Idlewood South Park has long served as the heart of PBS13 territory. Though initially built as a space for families and locals, the park has slowly evolved into a hangout spot for the Playboys Gang. Residents once used the park for cookouts, basketball games, and Sunday hangouts. But over time, increased poverty and neglect turned it into a hotspot for gang activity. Law enforcement has tried to contain the gang presence in Idlewood South Park through community sweeps, but with limited success.
PBS 13 v BGLCS: 56th Street CLS Worst Nightmare.
Around August 15th, 2020, at about 10:35 PM, 21-year-old Daniel Galeas (a Playboys 13, 56th Street CLS affiliate) was seen walking home with their friend after grabbing food from a JP Taco's truck. As they made their way down Bee Hives, a masked individual dressed in black clothing emerged from an alleyway and fired multiple shots at Galeas, striking him in the chest & abdomen. Daniel collapsed to the floor while the suspect fled the scene in a black sedan. The ambulance arrived shortly after, transporting Galeas to the All Saints Hospital. Unfortunately, despite efforts of trying to save his life, Daniel ended up passing away during surgery. Law enforcement officials have claimed that the killing is gang-related due to the recent shootouts in gang violence across the Idlewood area.
This incident started a series of retaliation attacks over the following weeks after Daniel Galeas' death, leaving two more individuals dead and several others in critical condition. In response, Chief Anthony Rosario created a task force to stop the gang violence and bring justice. After weeks of research & investigation, police arrested 23-year-old Travis Boyd, a known affiliate of a local gang to be responsible for Daniel Galeas murder. Investigators are continuing to dig through the case for potential links to other crimes around Idlewood.
